    I buy and watch a lot of DVDs and Blu-Rays.

    The quality of the picture and sound is far superior to TV transmissions and its cheaper than a vist it the cinema (though I often do that too).

    DVDs are very cheap now and Blu-Rays can often be picked up in cheaper deals, but many films do not justify the increased price of Blu Ray (poor transfers or the subject material).

    Mostly I get films but sometimes I will buy TV series that I missed on transmission or were only on Sky.

    A month ago I bought a box set of all 8 series of 24 which I had missed when it was transmitted.

    I thought it expensive at £75 but I like the subject matter and the concept interested me. Also I realised that the £75 paid for 8 series on 48 DVD's each with 4 episodes plus a bonus one-off feature length programme is a hell of a lot of entertainment value, however you look at it, over 145 hours worth as it turns out...

    I have still a long way to go to finish the box-set but it certainly is gripping TV and it is well worth what was paid for it.

    But this morning I logged in to Amazon (where I bought my set) and found the same set advertised for £129.... At that price I would never have bought it (though it is so good it would still have been worth it - but I would never have found that out!)

    In a matter of 4/5 weeks the price goes up from £75 to £129.

    Usually after the initial release of a DVD the price of tv series goes down once the initial demand is over.

    Did Amazon realise they made a mistake with the initial price, I wonder, and was I just lucky to get in when I did?
